Pros
Pro Designed with being less "toxic" in mind
The developer of Strife purposefully set out to create a MOBA that is less toxic than what is currently on offer, they have implemented blocked chat across teams as well as limited chat on ones own team, making for less communication between people who at times will be having heated moments.
Pro Good for beginners and profesionals
Strife has simplified a lot of aspects of the MOBA genre to make their game more accessible to any skill level.
Pro More than a clone
